Current computer processors operate according to a predetermined set of instructions called the instructions set architecture (ISA). The ISA is the programming model that determines such things as address formats, names of processor registers, and other relevant programming information. Software written in higher level languages (such as C) get compiled into instructions that correspond to the ISA of the particular processor the software is to be run on. While different processors may run the same ISA, the actual microarchitecture of the processor may be different. A processor's microarchitecture determines how the ISA is implemented. The microarchitecture is the physical arrangement and interaction of gates, registers, Arithmetic Logic Units (ALUs), and other units within the processor. The computer architecture comprises the combination of microarchitecture and the ISA.
